Ok guys so heres my problem.
I bought a new 95 civic si coupe with an H23A (JDM) motor. I bought the car with a blown tranny, since i could easily replace it.
A friend of mine had, what he told me was, an F23 tranny. I know H and F engines and whatnot are interchangeable but here where my problem came in.
My friend told me the shafts and everything will work perfectly fine with the new tranny, and the passenger side went in and locked without any problems.
However the driver side half shaft goes in about half way and stops. It feels like its hitting something solid. Ive measure the depth of the tranny and the length of the shaft and it seems to be the exact length but it just gets stuck.
Can someone please shed some light on the situation for me. Let me know of any tricks to get it to work or if in fact the half shaft is wrong for the tranny and will not work.
thanks in advance
